    I don't drink very often, but was thinking about doing the same!! You can do this! Just remember what Jesus sacrificed for you (and me) and it will be just fine!!

    No need for anybody to cheer you. The scale will, very very soon after you replace that wine, beer or other booze with tea. Lots of it.

    You know what, you'll forget about the difference pretty soon.

    Try it!

    I started counting calories and losing weight on Jan 1. Lost 13 lbs so far (two months). Logging the calories in Alcohol really makes it easy to slow down or stop. Plus you save $$$$. Plus you will feel like doing something instead of being lazy after a few drinks! Good Luck.

    GOOD FOR YOU!!!

    I cheated and had two tall cans of beer on Sunday. But that was after a long hike in the forest.

    I gave up wine for lent. And I already feel better. Hope the scale shows it too. I did drink beer over the weekend instead of the wine, however, beer fills me way up so I only drank 1 or 2! Hope to do better this week!:tongue:
